Duplication is always bad, if u want to use articles i think change it some ways. Change some content and use it for ur site. this really works, try it
hi i want to ask. If I am writing an article to article directories then I add my own article to my website, it is duplicate content? Because it is myself who write the article....so what to do?
It's a good idea to write unique content to submit to article directories and write more in depth stuff (also unique) for your site. Or in other words: yes, it's duplicate content if the same article is published on two websites.
